We've upgraded from using a frying pan with bottle caps to using a mini cupcake pan on a hot plate or griddle - easier access to the dyes. We've tried disposable pans, but they just don't stay flat, so the heat transfer doesn't work very well.

We're using pencils with a flat-headed straight pin to draw the lines.

I see that a bunch of the images in the original tutorial have gone MIA, so I'm off to try and spruce it up!

Beautiful! Mine are a bit more clunky. I'm going to need to get some better photos with the real cam as opposed to the iPhone but here's a couple (we still have more and will continue to make them this week. fun!)

I was looking at another post you made in the Polymer Clay section and you mentioned drop dead eggs and since I had no idea what those were, I clicked on the 'images by this member' link and found these. I even added them to my Pinterest!
